Building
Bentwood
The idea started with winning the NCAA Men's Basketball bracket!
With a few extra bucks to spend I decided to build another boat.
Total
100% Opposites
Here are two boats built on the same mold with about 200 years
difference in technique and materials. One is the most beautiful
boat I have ever seen and the other, we'll see.
Paddle,
Kayak Style
The design goal for this paddle was to develop a low cost, easy
to make, adaptable paddle for a kayak, canoe or any other small
boat that requires manual propulsion.
Everglades
Skiff
The Cortez Maritime Museum has a mandate to build traditional
Florida boats. Here's one I haven't seen there yet, the Everglades
skiff.
Story
of a New Design As open water voyages go, a sixty-eight kilometer
round-trip does not sound like a long way to travel. After the
trip though, Ross' thoughts turned to a bigger boat.
A
Trip in Canada - Part Two
Watertown NY to Mackinac Island MI Entering Ontario Provence
was another culture shock. All things French, including language,
abruptly disappeared.
A
Trip in Canada - Part One
I relaunched April 29, in Tarrytown on the Hudson, where I pulled
her for a refit last August. Had a lovely run up the Hudson,
the Champlain Canal, and Lake Champlain to Burlington VT.
Cruising
and Bruising
That made me to think, what kind of cruiser could ply the Texas
coast today...?
"All
boat design is a compromise" – Rubbish
But I was (and am still) in love with beautiful boats. Was it
possible to create simple ply boats that just "look
right" on the water?
